Take the Magnetic Bra Test

    FASHION/TECHNOLOGY - There is a new bra coming to North America, and its positively and negatively attracted to itself. In case you didn't read the title of this blog post, yes its a magnetic bra.

    Look ma, no hooks or clasps!

    The bra is being offered by lingerie retailer La Vie en Rose, but they're not the only ones going magnetic. Wonderbra also has a new magnetic bra out being promoted by burlesque star Dita Von Teese... and not because its easy to take off, because it actually isn't as easy as it looks.

    La Vie En Rose's version is called "Magnetic Attraction" and it retails for $33.95 CDN each. It also comes in three styles – the Boost push-up, the Daily lightly padded and the Au Naturel unpadded.

    You see in the past attempts to make a magnetic bra always failed because the magnets were too weak to stand up to the stress of say... jumping up and down, running, or even simple tasks like bending over to pick something up.

    Whoops. It popped open again.

    But these new magnetic bras are MUCH MORE POWERFUL and both La Vie En Rose and Wonderbra are daring people to come into their stores and put them to the test.

    Because apparently these things aren't budging. You can jiggle it, jump and dance in it, run, whatever.

    The magnet's sheer strength is already annoying men too... its even harder to remove than those old hook bras, causing complaints:

    "Why did they invent this? Is it supposed to make it easier? 'Cause it's not."

    Of course the bra is also causing some jokes, like what if paper clips get stuck to your shirt... or if you can't find your keys and they were stuck to your bra the entire time. Let alone problems with airport security.

    "Finally a bra I can open, and also hang on my fridge!"

Short Skirts coming Spring 2010

    FASHION - All the top designers are pushing short skirts for women in Spring 2010. Below are: Prada on the left, Dolce & Gabbana in the centre and Versace on the right.

    In other news where did the decade go? Its October 1st 2009 already and in only three short months it will by January 2010. Seriously, WTF. Seems like only yesterday the United States was worried about Y2K, and then George W. Bush snuck into the White House... then September 11th 2001, the War in Afghanistan that failed to capture Osama bin Laden, the War in Iraq that failed to find Weapons of Mass Destruction, the Tsunami in Malayasia, Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, the American Recession started in 2007, Barack Obama got elected in November 2008, and slow but steady economic recovery in 2009.

    According to some fashion gurus the trend towards short skirts happens whenever people are short on cash. Skirts costs less than dresses, and the less fabric used often the less expensive the skirts are. Thus frugal people are more likely to buy them.

    HOWEVER, predicting fashion trends based on economics are tricky. What if the economy completely rebounds by Spring 2010 and people have more cash to buy whatever they want?

    Well, you see there's also a backup issue... global warming and climate change. With hotter temperatures people will be wanting more short skirts anyway, so its also a pretty safe bet people will want them since jeans/dresses will be too hot.

    So my advice? If you see shorts skirts on sale and you absolutely love them and think they will be kewl to wear in the future, buy them.Source URL: http://lifestyleartsblogs.blogspot.com/2009/09/

License to Cruise...

    Erica and Eric's wedding party stopped for drinks at Anduzzi's before their wedding reception on Friday night. College Ave. was just revving up for it's annual "License to Cruise" car show the night before the famous Octoberfest.

    There was a staff photographer from the Post Crescent taking shots... he saw me setting up the wedding party and took a few shots. I am actually surprised the image was published in the paper... I wish I could have sent them the kick butt shot I took!

    Enjoy!

Thursday & Saturday's Weddings

    On Thursday I photographed the lovely wedding of Amaleena & Chris at Loseley Park near Guildford. They first had a civil service followed by a blessing in the Great Hall of Loseley House and then after a quick stop for pictures in the garden we went to celebrate a Hindu service in a marquee by the Tithe barn. A gorgeous sunny day, some lovely guests and a great couple helped create a very special day.

    Here's Amaleena's shoes
    Photobucket

    Then after a day off (if only) I travelled up to Bath to photograph the amazing wedding of Kate and Ivor. They were married in a local church in Combe Down on the edge of Bath and then it was on to the beautiful Assembly Rooms in the heart of Bath for the first stage of the reception. After food the couple and their guests walked down through Bath high street to the Roman Baths and Pump Rooms for the evening reception. Some amazing photo opportunities in a venue that just takes your breath away.

    Here's a night shot of the baths which were the couple and their guests exclusively for the night.

    As usual their full wedding stories with lots more picture will follow soon.Source URL: http://lifestyleartsblogs.blogspot.com/2009/09/

Grumpy's Kiss and Departure

    Today, another couple of recreated pan B/Gs from SNOW WHITE.

    First, we have "Grumpy's Kiss and Departure." Interesting problem... the first frame in the sequence, starting on the right has Grumpy with his shadow. I couldn't eliminate it completely.

    So here you'll see two versions: one with Grumpy and the entire first frame intact. Here's the first frame:


    This version of the digitally re-created pan B/G contains the entire first frame on the right:

    This second version of the digitally re-created pan B/G is almost completely cleared, as much as digitally possible... revealing quite a bit more of the B/G. Sorry, nothing I could do about that bit of shadow and a fragment of Grumpy's shoe!

    As usual I've split the Pan B/G in halves so you can have a good look at detail Here's the left side:

    And the right side:

    And finally, another completely separate woodsy pan B/G. Grumpy gets his nose stuck in the hole in the tree. A funny bit!

Alicia & Paul :: Sedona Azizona Enagament Session


    So yeah, it was wow. Crazy wow. Wow times infinity even. Sedona Arizona is among the top 5 most beautiful places I've been to I'd say. Breathtaking hardly describes it.

    I'll have the pleasure of shooting Alicia & Paul's wedding next year in Arizona. Having the engagement session in Sedona was actually dad's, (Alicia's) idea. Dad done good I'd say :)
    If I'm honest, my images hardly do the beauty of whats there justice. That said, it was the perfect backdrop to present the love these two have for one another. Magic.

    I went out of my norm and did some landscape photography in between poses from my couple. I'm NOT a landscape photographer but how couldn't I get a few? How'd I do?

    Thanks for the warmth, (literally and emotional) Mills family. You'll know how to treat a guest. I look forward to February. :)

    Blessing, have a fantastic weekend everyone.

    ~Sam








    The Mill's family boards horses. Everyone meet Seabuscuit. For real :)


    Ladies & Gentleman......I give you Sedona.

SNOW WHITE

    In honor of the 70th anniversary of SNOW WHITE and the forthcoming Disney DVD re-release, I've created some newly digitized restorations of some obscure B/G art pieces from Walt's first feature.

    The first is a recreated pan B/G (with cel overlays of waterfall, vultures and their shadows.)
